Perhaps someone can help me with this. I was reading about the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics and the higher probability for energy to transfer from a state of order to disorder. I naturally started to…Continue

Hi Everyone! My question is regarding the erosion differences between the Appalachian mountain range and the Sierra Nevada mountain range. The Appalachians are much more eroded than the Sierras. Now…Continue

Whenever talking about the Bible with a skeptic I often get the old fashion "I don't believe in a book written by ancient stupid desert people" line. And though I many approaches for handling this…Continue

"It seems to me that if we truly strove to quit forcing morality on others we would need to remove all laws right? It seems like the only way to truly achieve that goal anyways. Isn't punishment for murder via prison morality be forced onto…"

"I believe the answer to why angiosperm plants appear later in the fossil record than cyanobacteria, algae, ect. is not an issue of time, but location. In the event of a global flood the rapid burial would have first enveloped the plant life in the…"

"I see what you're saying Robert, but you're still making a huge generalization that all women worldwide desperately care about their looks along with a wide variety of other generalizations that just simply aren't true. I think…"

"Good question :) Let me share with you what astronomers are saying in regards to the 2nd law of thermodynamics. It’s quite a mystery for secular scientist when it comes to physics. Particularly, why does time move in a singular direction? Some…"

Perhaps someone can help me with this. I was reading about the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics and the higher probability for energy to transfer from a state of order to disorder. I naturally started to think about the Big Bang, a random chaotic event, and it occurred to me that such a chaotic event would create an initial disorder, which would have to combine into a more orderly state to form galaxies and clusters, etc. This seems to violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics. So I looked into galaxy…See More

"I just recently submitted my research paper for my Nuclear Science course on Radiocarbon dating. I posted it if anyone cares to check it out. It covers a lot of the pros and cons of radiocarbon dating and discusses a lot of the points mentioned here…"

"I love those three sites too. But if I could add a fourth it would be www.evolutionnews.org. They're not creationists, they're ID, but they provide some strong cases against evolution that are definitely worth checking out."

"Using the lack of understanding in babies is poor evidence of anything. The laws of logic are immaterial, and are true regardless of whether they are comprehended or not. For example, the law on non-contradiction. Baby A can't be in a boat in…"

"Since any argument requires logic, if one couldn't use logic to argue for logic then there is no way to argue for logic. That is like asking someone to prove that 2+2 equals 4 without using math. Well, the only way to prove a mathematical…"

"Thank you for your comments Jim. I think where we’re getting our wires crossed is in my usage of “water canopy.” I am referring to the water canopy models used in the traditional sense of a sphere of water just outside of…"

Hello, my name is Matt and I've been a Christian for 5 years, but only accepted a Creationist perspective 2 years after becoming Christian. I was raised in So Cal, and am moving to Central Cal in a month, naturally because of the demographics here the majority of people I associate with are not Christian, and even those that are have very liberal and compromising beliefs. My hope is to learn as much about the authenticity of the creation account because I believe it is one of the major factors that turns people off to Christ.
